Said the leaf to the stem,
The kitchen is closed today;
The sun is hiding behind dark clouds,
You will have to make do with what the root can give away.
Tomorrow, I hope we get a sun bath,
And our chefs can prepare delicious meals with ease;
Said the stem to the root humbly,
Today just nourish me please.
The root gave something to satisfy the stem,
And the whole plant too which began to glow;
It told the stem and leaves, please remember,
I will give you all I have but my supplies are low.
The flowers and the fruits had a plant talk among themselves,
About how they will survive tomorrow;
The stem, leaves and root told them unanimously,
That if we can celebrate together in joy, we can support each other in hunger and sorrow.
Vizzmaya is a wanderer in the land of stories and an explorer in the sea of poetry. She is 10 years old but her life’s experiences make her writing age faster but gracefully. She is awaiting for the release of not just her first book but all her 7 e-books via Amazon by the end of November, titled- Vizzmaya’s wonderland (parts 1 to 7) which contain poems, stories, write-ups and jingles. She hopes they add positive energy to the lives of everyone who reads them and is passed on to others for their betterment.
